A posting on the Equinor (ex-Statoil) website describes how the company has added a natural language processing component (NLP) to OPT, its operational planning tool. NLP is used to locate hard to find information in text data such as incident reports. Context has been built into the NLP tool by training from dedicated, skilled users from Oseberg South to do digital highlighting. Localizing the NLP component to Norwegian meant building it practically ‘from the ground up’. The NLP component includes a knowledge graph of information in work orders or incident reports from several plants. Hyperlinks allows the users to open DNV GL Synergi cases directly from the tool. The NLP is work in progress and currently returns many ‘less than relevant’ results. But its developers believe it will mature to become a ‘great asset’ in the future. OPT runs in Equinor’s Azure cloud. Tessela and Norwegian Bouvet contributed to the Equinor NLP development.
